Blink 182 from SAN-SMF a few months ago - they were on my return, too.

Peterson's attorney

Yesterday, Flight 1076
SJC-LAX

Not a celebrity, but you see him on tv sometimes, Mark Geragos, former attorney of Michael Jackson and currently Scott Peterson's lawyer. People around him were talking about the case as if he wasn't there.

I saw Ralph Nader in OAK WN terminal.

It took a great deal of restraint to not tell him off big time right then and there...

Celebs on WN

I sat next to Bobcat Goldwaite (The Screamer?) on a flight from BUR to LAS. He was very quiet.

Also, the guy who play Bill in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure was on a flight from PHX to LAX. At the end of the flight the stewardess told us all to have an "excellent" day.

I flew out of Burbank with Eve 6 to Seattle, from what I gather bands like to fly on Southwest so the record company won't take it out of their advances.

If you want to go even further down the list, I saw Colleen, the WN supervisor of "Airline" fame, coming into work at MDW yesterday afternoon while I was checking in for my NW flight.

And PokerHammy, ^ ^ ^ on the Ivey sighting.

This may be a frequent sighting on VEGAS flights!

Martin Sheen, the "President" on West Wing? This is the most A-List here! :-:

Since this thread is titled "Southwest Celebrity Sightings", I should say that I've been on a flight with the biggest Southwest celebrity of them all - Herb. He served the peanuts.

On another flight, I sat in the second row, behind Greg Abbott, Texas' Attorney General.

Charleie Casserly, the General Manager of the Houston Texans (NFL - Football) Sat in the row behind me once on a IAH-DAL flight (back in 2002 when IAH was still serviced by SWA). He continued on to Lubbock for a recruiting trip to Texas Tech. This was a few months before the Texans' first franchise game ever.

Years ago SWA HOU to BNA. Boarded in the last tier. The only seat available was a center seat right next to Mickey Gilley. His entire band was there, and turned our section of the plane into a great big party! What a hoot.

About five years ago I sat across the aisle from Henry Winkler on DL--SLC to LAX. In coach no less! When the flight landed, he was the guy helping the older passengers get their luggage down from the overheads. What a down to earth guy who is not overly impressed with himself.

Apparently they like to fly Southwest to get some pre-match warm up by wrestling for seats.
I saw the Undertaker in SLC. There was no way of mistaking him.

On a trip to Vegas from Burbank, I was in Group 1 and Luke Wilson (Old School, Legally Blonde) tried to cut in with us when he was in Group 3. They booted him out of line.

And on the flight back home, Shannon Elizabeth (Scary Movie, American Pie) sat in the middle seat in front of me reading a script. A quick note: she pulled a hat over her head to not get noticed and tried to cover her face. I say, if you're an actor that doesn't want to get noticed in the airport, make sure that your hat isn't a pink matching hat that goes with pink, skin-tight clothes, don't travel with your dog in a little dog purse, and don't make it blantantly obvious that you're reading a script on the plane.
